Thanks ex stud, time to do some drivin and lookin. I'll catch up with all later tonight. One more day of work tom and off for the rest of the hunt. Then my participation will kick in. One thing to ponder, has the treasure ever not been buried?? Think of how BOLD a treasure hunter would be if they weren't actually digging in the snow. I do understand safety comes first, so it may not be high, but shoved in a bush, tree, atop playground equipment.... many other possibilities. Well, i'm off, catch all later tonight. Maybe we can find out that there is water in the park and that can definetely pinpoint it, right?? C-YA'll
hey anyone here think of highland park they have the bridge linking over the park also that same strech of road links right into mpls and gold courses they have 3 of them and a indoor and outdoor hockey rink??? sound any good pluse isnt highland where the canival started 50th our beloved city stpd?
Too much useless bickering!! People need to consolodate their thoughts!
I am somewhat concerned about the legality of having clue printouts and the like for validity. Can someone tell me who I can call to ask about this? Or can someone back up their statements? I don't need anyone's opinion on their interpretation, I need fact.
I've seen the printed rules. Do the printouts qualify only for the drawing or for the entire shabang? It could be taken (and/or intended) both ways, and considering how many errors have already happened this year (ad infinatum, anybody? Where is that on the website's 1st clue??), I'm not ready to take any chances.
yes, it's a little late for this sort of noodling, but how about for "keep on your toes", the medallion is near a split in a combination bike/walking path, on the walking side?
Matt, it is my understanding, that for the tickets you must print each clue separately as stated on twincities.com, but for the extra 2500, I think the PP will accept just about ANYTHING
lol I just wasted the last 10 minutes reading YOUR messages then I looked at the date... January 25...January 25th? but its only the 23rd. 2000 well thats not right....Pray that I find that medallion and a button at this point, I need all the help I can get as you should be able to tell by now.
I dont' know to what "old" pool you are referring, but there is a separate diving pool at Highland. If that helps you any. Although I am not convinced it is at Highland or Como (which both have pools)
Matt - I was wondering the same thing regarding the exceptance of the on-line clues allowed to be admissible. I started making 500 printouts a day of the current clue. I'll be in Florida before this thing is over(sarcasm) But somebody could, and it sounds like it would be OK even if they come from a copy machine. I didn't see where it said one entry per person. I'm going to go back and check to be sure. Time to stock up on stamps
(MOM - feel free to delete if you feel this may start something)
I'm just getting going tonight and am wondering about the latest clue. I saw the correction to the typo (I cannot believe that they really screwed that up by accident).
There's a little lake off of 61 in Phalen. Here are my thoughts:
Circular thinking - Round Lake
Linking - Between Keller and Phalen Golf courses
Bank account won't be shrinking - Prosperity St. or "Goodrich", as in Goodrich Park? Also across from Goodrich Golf Course
Gregor - good thoughts. Circular thinking could also mean a word game such as an anagram, or that the clues will not lead us to the park but the area around the park. or a circular object may be visible at or near the park but you can't see it from the treasure site
work downtown, jordenn?

EX wasn't planning on it, why are lotsa peops goin?
dig, we're not sure if there even is a park, yet? mom hasn't been quite that generous with her clues.
Ares, work in the northern suburbs but definitely closer to St. Paul than I am now. Should have just gotten one when I first saw them.... doh!
I think I will, it sounds like there will be quite a few including most from the pity party last year
what's everyones guess for the moment, anything
so it'll be a nice long out of the way trip to get a button, then, won't it?
naw, not so bad.... i have seen them at the stores around work.
see ya there if you wanta have a drink and hash it over. I can tell you anything you wanta know about harriet island

Last paragraph pertains to photocopies/handwriting etc.
great tagline, self.

Thank you, original I know:)
that's what i thought.

does anyone know if divers use there toes to dive ?
like off a diving board

Digger, I thought someone would have answered you by now, but if you are still there. . .Yes, divers stand on their toes.
TC - WOW!!! So did you finally find yourself thinking it was in Newell Park?
could the clue about your toes and june mean swiming pool at highland park does anyone know if the old pool had a diving board?
I dont' know to what "old" pool you are referring, but there is a separate diving pool at Highland. If that helps you any. Although I am not convinced it is at Highland or Como (which both have pools)

Class ended early. See you down at the Pub.
What are you asking for your guide? Deal?
I still don'thave a good idea about todays clue...
Could circular thinking mean we should lookat clues from prior hunts..
I do like the idea of the bridgelink at highland, but I hope it is not there.. to far south
Guide - the video tapeing went well thanks for the tip, it took a long time though,which I guess is okay so I stop obsessing over todays clue
I'm just getting going tonight and am wondering about the latest clue. I saw the correction to the typo (I cannot believe that they really screwed that up by accident).

Ideas?

I like the Prosperity and Goodrich thing Gregor. Fresh take on things
Daddy
Brainstorm!!!! "Circular linking" could be frisbee golf!!
Is there such a thing anywhere in Ramsey County? This could be huge!
(edited so people didn't get the wrong impression) G - I play 'Disc' Golf at Highland all the time.
Including this Saturday @ noon for the big tourney
Highland has frisbee golf.
New daddy, Ford Parkway LINKS St. Paul to MPLS and Hidden Falls, out of View, is just South
Holy smokes!!!!
On my map, just to the east of Phalen -- Frisbie Avenue!!
Could this be? There's also a Ripley Ave. -- believe it or not!!
Where did everyone go? Running for your map books?
ok...been away from it for a day....WHAT WAS THE FIRST CLUE TODAY...AKA w/ the error ?!?! Thank you all for your help
